Archbishop Ole Sapit congratulated Canon Rosemary for her hard work and hailed the book which he has already read as timely and offering fundamentals answers to the burning question on leadership and spirituality.
Speaking on the question of whether political leaders could also be referred to as spiritual leaders, Senator Poghisio said that Chapter 10 0f the book addresses that issues saying that the political history of Kenya is awash with instances where religious leaders such as the late Bishop Alexander Muge and Henry Okullu had to step in and fill the void left by political leaders in the country when opposition politics was not very popular.
